Green Battery Campus

North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) is already home to more companies in the automotive sector than any other German state.

But now it is aiming to be a pioneer in the future of mobility. To do so, it is setting up Germany’s first “green battery campus for smart mobility” at the 140-hectare PrimeSite Rhine Region industrial and commercial site in the triangle formed by Cologne, Bonn and Aachen.

The goal is to have the site become home to a battery cell manufacturer as well as companies offering upstream and downstream processes, such as packaging and assembly, in a way that pools research, marketing, renewable energies, sustainable production and recycling.
